MANY LIVES LOST i IN FOREST FIRE Quebec, Oct. 5.?Thirty-three per sons are known to be dead, and posI sibly 50 lost their lives in the brush . and forest fires which are burning in the Cobalt district in northeastern . Ontario and in the St. Maurice valley . in Quebec. 1 Earlier reports which said that . from 60 to 100 persons lost their lives t in a panic to board a relief ship at i Haileybury dock, were erroneous. In addition to the known dead many per, sons who lost their homes in the t burning north country villages, inr eluding the town of Haileybury, were i reported missing. i r Hundreds of persons, it was learned here tonight, who fled from Haileyl bury and the neighboring five tftwns ' which were razed in this district, were i caught between the fires and the mar1 gin of Temagami lake last night. ' The wind shifted, acting as a natural backfire only when the narrowest - strip along the lake shore was left un. 5 burned, and many were overcome by smoke. Tonight it is raining. Soft rains which began to fall during the morn: ing have increased to a steady down' pour, which has checked temporarily > the fires about Haileybury. The rain adds to the mise'ry of the thousands of homeless and greatly impedes all ' rescue work. Fifteen bodies have been recovered : in Haileybury, reports from Cobalt ! state. These dispatches .are meager but it is believed that several of the ' dead were the victims of a panic on the Haileybury docks in the rush to board rescue boats. Five bodies have been recovered ! from two other towns of the Hailey "( bury district. The number of homeless is said to be at least 5,000. Farmers working in a potato field on the J outskirts of Haileybury late Tuesday% started a rubbish fire to burn ' dried potato tops. Tonight, as a result, only 20 homes stand in that picturesque lake town. From the potato patch the fire Bpread to bushes and then to neighboring woods, which were dry as tinder. Soon the fire was beyond , human control and it was not checked /until five of the mining settlei Bvipyed. Airs. T. A. Cobboult, wife of the county clerk, was one of the first to , lose her life. With her husband she attempted to save an aged cripple from a burning building. Mr. Cobboult succeeded in saving the man, but Mrs. Cobboult was caught in the building and was unable to make her escape. ' \ All roads leading from the district into Cobalt were jammed with trucks, cars, carriages and carts filled with refugees. The rain has made the roads impassable in some spots and many of the refugees who escaped the fire tonight find themselves ma. rooned on roads in heavy rains. Jno. C. Swygert Aiuong Visitors Among the distinguished Masons iij Union yesterday to attend the big , Masonic meeting in the court house was Jno. C. Swygert, of Peak, District Grand Master of Masons of the 9th District. Brother Swygert is one of the best beloved Masons in this district and Union Masons are always delighted to have him present.

KU KLUX HEAD TO FACE CHARGE Atlanta, Oct. 6.?The denial thatj Edward Young Clark, the imperial wizard pro tern of the Ku Klux Klan, bad tised the mails to effect a scheme to defraud, for which Clarke was indicted in the federal court late yesterday, was contained in a statement of the Imperial Kloncilium, the ruling body of the Klan, and was made public here today. Clarke was released under a $6,000 bond. * Indictment charges that Clarke collected money from certain members and officers of the Klan on the pretense that the funds would be used to pay the premiums in surety companies furnishing bonds to these Klan men and that the sums were In excess of the amount required and were converted to his personal use and benefit. Atlanta, Oct. 5.?E. Y. Clarke, imperial wizard pro tern of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, was indicted by the United States grand jury here today on charges of "using the mails to effect scheme to defraud." He was released on bond of $500. The charges against Mr Clarke, who yesterday announced his resignation as pro tempore head of the t,l?M 1 -flP 1 a- ? -a man i.kj banc eucci Huvemoer iu, arc based, according to the true bill rendered by the grand jury, on alleged use of the mails in collecting money from certain members, subordinate officers and employees of the Ku Klux Klan on the pretense that such moneys would be used to pay premiums to surety companies furnishing bonds for these klansmen. The indictment alleged that the sums collected were in excess of the amount required to pay such premiums, and that this excess was converted to the personal use and benetit of Mr. Clarke. According to allegations in tne memorandum accompanying the charges Mr. Clarke used the mails to collect money on the following plan: Grand Goblins were required to be bonded in the amount of $5,000; for which a fee of $25 was required to pay premium to bonding companies; king kleagles were required to furnish bonds of $2,500, for which a fee of $12.50 was required for premium and kleagles were reIt is charged that the National Surety company of New York was designated in the literature sent through the mails by Mr. Clarke as the bonding company and it is further alleged that the premium rates of this company for $5,000, the amount of a grand goblin bond, was only $9; and that the difference in this amount and the fee collected of the grand goblin was converted to the ( personal benefit of Mr. Clarke, and that proportionately smaller differ-1 ences on the lower bonds were handled in a like manner. Memoranda included in the indictment charges that Mr. Clarke mailed a letter on June 9, 1921, to George B. Kimbro, Jr., Houston, Texas, explaining terms of the bonding process giving fee rates, and setting forth rules for the klan regarding bonds for employees. Another memorandum is alleged to be a copy of a letter which Mr Clarke mailed to Kimbro on February 0, 1922, in which he acknowledged receipt of check for bond premiums of three kleagles. In a statement tonight concerning the indictment Mr. Clarke termed it "another effort on the part of the enemies of the klan to hurt the klan by discrediting me." "The ones who brought the charge before the grand jury are all discharged employees," he stated. "The indictment will not amount to anything, as it is predicated on false allegations . . . The money charged in the indictment to have been received by me was all properly transmitted to the imperial palace, and is so on record at the palace. . . . The grand jury of course heard only one side of the case and if they had been in possession of the real facts no indictment would have been returned."

'sudden recks by conference ?* Constantinople, Oct. 6* (By the Associated Press).?Alter Conferring for most of the night with the high commissioners and military- experts here tho Allied generals this morning returned to Mudania for .a resumption of the armistice conference. The result of the deUjkratlons was i not announced but it ytas conceded that the situation was serious, but they still hoped ths,t a basis of com- , mon agreement amonj^ the French, British and Italian delegations could be reached. flTj 1 Constantinople, Oct. & (By the As- i sociated Press).?The question of the i evacuation of Thrace was the cause of the rupture in the Mudania con- i ference, it was announced at a late hour tonight. The attitude of the 1 Turks and the Greeks was very belli-1 ' cose, threatening the success of the i conference. j i Ismet Pasha, in a fiery" mood,upset the conference today. *pe declared < that the Turkish army must enter < Thiace immediately and his tone was < determined and defiant. 1 General Harington attempted to 1 reason with him after' the fashion " which had proved so Effective in i dealing with minor preliminaries but < Ii .net was adamant. ') i - i Constantinople, Oct. 6 (By the As- < sociated Press).?Abruptly, though < not unexpectedly, the Wudania conference came to a halt this afternoon, i When it will be resumed is a matter 1 of conjecture. Brigadier-fSeneral Har- < Ington, commander of thd allied forces < and head of the allied datamation, re- < turned this evening op the battleship < Iron Duke, and the Italian delegation s also came to Constantttppie. It is 1 understood the allied geAraln will go j into conference with 1 M high com-1 < missioners on certain diflnedties which i have/arisen at Mudanimjl < Variora explanations mnr the separation of the delegate* ue given in i the rumors which quicnf developed 1 here. The one most geaflUiy cred^ i ited relates to the evaciMMh of Con- < stantinople. According lpufenofficial 1 information, Ismet PasjMBujfjhe Rationalist representative, ? Suddenly ' stantinople. General Harington replied that that would come after the ' cnnnlnainn nf tV?? npars trontv na ut i forth in the ioint allied note. Ismet insisted repeatedly ^>r- an earlier : evacuation, and it was found impos- ' sible to reach an agreement for the 1 present on this important point. General Mombelli of Italy support- ' ed General Harington, but the French delegate, General Charpy, was noncommital. At this juncture, M. Franklin Bouillon, the special French envoy, inter- j vencd, declaring that he bad been instructed by the French government to support the Turkish demand. The discussion grew very warm and the allied, generals adjourned to confer with the commissioners at Constantinople. Both General Harington and General Mombelli have asked for fur- , ther instructions from their government. If these are received in time it is possible that tjhe conference may be resumed at Mudania tomorrow. Another report was current, but Accepted as only a partial explanation, that the stoppage of the conference sessions was due to the necessity of . the Greek delegates referring all matters for decision to their government at Athens. Ku Klux Bring Flowers Quite a good bit of suppressed expitomanf warn mnaoJ vpQtAivlaQ Viv flip coming of Ku Klux with a large square box containing a beautiful floral tribute which they placed upon the grave of Mr. William T. Powell. Just as the Masons had concluded their burial service and flowers were being placed upon the grave, ten masked and robed figures who had driven up to the street running cast and west alongside the cemetery, got out and slowly rrtarched to the grave, depoaHed the floral tribute and, as silently marched back to the cars and drove off.

BRITISH CABINET I MEETS IN HASTE London, Oct. 5 (By the Associated Press).?The British cabinet met hur- T riedly at 11 o'clock tonight and went o into anxious discussion over the Near a East situation. It is understood that ti unsatisfactory news was received n from Constantinople, but the nature lj of the advices was not for the present b disclosed. tl At the afternoon meeting of the cabinet, the matter of irreconcilable utlitude of the Kemalists on certain tl material points was under considers- d< tion. The Greek delegates were to a: join the Mudania conference today. IV and it may therefore be supposed thM ei the government's latest advices had tl reference to their attitude in today's T session. it The Greek delegates, it is declared c? have no power to sign an agreement E without referring it to Athens, and it is possible that delays on this account tx will be entailed. in Towards the close of the afternoon's it :abinet council, the foreign office rt- tc :eived a summary of the Angora gov- le ernment's reply to the allied invito- In tion to a peace conference. It should d< be explained that it was not the tenor tl rf this reply which caused ministerial w misgivings for the cnbinet did net take the reply under advisement, lea--- m ing this matter for tomorrow's meet- w ing. The reply is, in fact, to a gre it D jxtent what might have been expect- le id. th It thanks the allied powers for the fi return of eastern Thrace and agrees rt to the proposed peace conference. :t suggests, but does not insist, that the te conference be held at Smyrna instead cc ?g Venice. The most important part v? >f the note is its insistence that Rus- te }iu and the Black sea states should O ie invited to the peace conference. ft.part from this demand, which is ui certain to cause difficulties among ihe vi lilies, the note is couched in a tore $1 >f conciliation. In The view expressed in official quar- ni :ers is that Smyrna is too distant and C lacks the conveniences necessary for gi in international conference and there cc certainly will be counter proposals to the Angora suggestion. f \ w It Is denied officially that there is rc shy foundation for the reports that ai an arrangement has been made for h< British withdrawal front Chanak I> tone; on this point the governments tl attitude is unchanged. Kandra, which j.i is reported to have been occupied by w Turkish cavalry, is outside the neutral H zone as established by the declaration af the allies in May, 1921. Kandra lier. lo about 65 miles from Constantinople. According to the latest reports, t.he n< Greek general, Nider, has gone to m Thrace to assume command of the; tc troops and it is reported that two. p Greek troop trains have left Salon.\i <? for Adrianople. . 1 * 1 ; ? : Many Distinguished Masons ;v Here Yesterday j *1 ?
